Discover the programs and exercises to follow to exercise and sculpt your figure without leaving your home.
To continue training, even while teleworking, do some sport at home turns out to be the right solution.”10-15 minutes of activity per day are enough to wake up the body” explains coach Julie Pujols-Benoit. “When you spend long hours teleworking in front of a screen, it is absolutely necessary to relieve the neck and back by doing stretching exercises.” she adds.
For fitness enthusiasts, you don’t need a lot of equipment to get a flat stomach, slim your legs or tone your buttocks. To take over from indoor training, all you need is a gym mat or a terry towel and do several sets of simple exercises. “Abdominals, plank to do core strengthening, etc. are positions that are accessible to everyone and very effective,” insists our expert.
Need to be motivated? Go online or on a mobile application to follow a muscle strengthening session, Pilates or of yoga. Be careful, however, to measure the effort correctly. “To avoid bad movements or even injury, choose a session given by a qualified teacher,” advises the pro.
Looking for a more fun program to let off steam? No problem. On the Web and especially on Instagram and Youtube, Zumba, dance and cardio classes are flourishing. They can be practiced solo, as a couple or with children in joy and good humor. To sweat and have fun, interactive video games are also a great alternative to move and eliminate calories. It’s up to you!
Completely complementary or replacing an outdoor cardio activity, fitness equipment have proven their effectiveness in boosting fitness and toning the figure. It’s time to hop on your exercise bike and/or use a electrostimulation belt to work deeply on the stomach, arms and glutes. Not forgetting dumbbells, elastic bands, weight bars, steppers and even skipping ropes which are real allies for reshaping your figure without leaving home.
Of course, physical activity goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet. Sleep longer. It’s also an opportunity to cook delicious home-cooked meals for avoid snacking throughout the day.
Finally, adopt good habits on a daily basis. “Drink water, do flex pointe movements with your feet when you’re watching your favorite Netflix series and swap your office chair for a Swiss ball to work your muscles continuously,” says the coach. Exercising at home has never been so convenient and easy. So, shall we get started?
